That's the most smug looking creature I've ever seen!

Boobook and Frogmouth

Forgive my oversight!
Southern Boobook (boobooks are the hawk-owls of Australia and Southeast Asia)
Tawny Frogmouth (not an owl, but sometimes mistaken for one due to its stocky build, coloration ,and nocturnal habits.

I love Eulenschwalme (German name of frogmouths - still descriptive but less insulting). I've learned of their existence through an Australian TV series named Golden Pennies where one of the bad guys kept a frogmouth as pet.
And an article called: What Instagram Can Teach Us About Bird Photography: 'The Most Photogenic Bird and Color Preferences' declared frogmouths the be most 'instagrammable' bird species.
The surprising winner in this ranking is the frogmouth which seems to be a matter of poetic justice, as this nocturnal bird with very distinct facial features was once designated “the world’s most unfortunate-looking bird”

Very interesting! It's always interesting to see what names get given to the same animals.
I think it's a good bird for photos since it is very peculiar in a weird but not uncomfortable way. Plus that tiny baby is so cute, I'd think there's be photos of them everywhere!
That's certainly a different pet for a villain to have! While being a night time carnivorous bird, Australia has a number of intimidating beasties, but I don't think I've encountered anyone intimidated by a frogmouth.
If you want a unique villain bird, I'd go Shoebill (Schuhschnabel)

Looks like they're about to be hit by an immersion blender.

Lol cuteness puree?
I spent a bit of time looking at that thing. First I thought it was a heat lamp, and I do see a few LED pendants in that design, but in the one pic it looks to go to the ceiling, and I also saw a chimney design in that shape. With as out of focus as it seems to be, I feel it's further in the background and bigger than it looks, so I'm thinking chimney at this point.
